“The best way to resolve any
problem in the human world is for all sides to sit down and talk.” —Dalai Lama
Conflicts in families are
quite common. The property disputes in families are quite complicated to
resolve. In this post, I will discuss resolving family conflicts and property
disputes amicably.
Resolve Conflicts Amicably
“I never yet saw an instance
of one of two disputants convincing the other by argument.” ―Thomas Jefferson
Conflicts appear to be
complex but they are easy if you understand, analyze and address them with an
open mind. Before undertaking them identify the best and the worst outcome.
When you calculate this, you don’t end up with disappointment as you have
already prepared for the worst. If you get the best, you exit with excitement.
Ensure that the outcome is win-win where all stakeholders are happy. Here are
some steps to resolve conflicts amicably. Understand the issue at the root
level. Analyze and explore to offer simple with viable solutions. Communicate
clearly with the stakeholders with the pros and cons about the conflict. Attack
the issue, not the individuals. Avoid arguments and personal attacks. Offer an honorable
exit to the litigant. Offer possibilities to resolve them amicably. Choose the
best solution and adopt them.
While handling property
disputes with your family members, invite family elders to intervene and
resolve them peacefully. Explore resolving the dispute through out-of-court
settlement as the legal process takes a long time. If all options are closed,
approach the court to resolve it legally.
Conflicts offer creative
solutions when viewed with a fresh lens. Several issues have been resolved
through discussion and dialogue.
Life is a Dialogue
“The old problems - love,
money, security, status, health, etc. - are still here to plague us or please
us.” —Shelley Berman
Keep what is the best and the
worst outcome before you approach the conflicts. Identify whether you are ready
to pay the price before entering into a conflict. Avoid if you cannot pay the
price and the outcome is negligible. To conclude, everything is possible in the
world when people come together to resolve the conflicts with an open mind.
“If you cannot get rid of the
family skeleton, you may as well make it dance.” —George Bernard Shaw
